DICYNODONT REMAINS FROM THE TARJADOS FORMATION A few fragmentary dicynodont remains were also collected in the transitional beds underlying the thick white sandstones which form the upper part of the Tarjados Formation. Specimen MCZ No. 3468 was collected just north of the Piano del Gualo, about one mile west of the Mogote del Gualo (see Romer and Jensen, 1966, fig. 2); it includes fragments of a skull and lower jaw.

Specimen MCZ No. 3468 was collected just north of the Piano del Gualo, about one mile west of the Mogote del Gualo (see Romer and Jensen, 1966, fig. 2); it includes fragments of a skull and lower jaw. The maxilla encloses the proximal portion of a powerful tusk about cm in diameter. This tusk shows traces of the alternating bands de- scribed above in Dinodontosaurus brevirostris, but also bears sev- eral longitudinal furrows. The remaining two specimens from the Tarjados Formation may also belong to the Dicynodontia: two fragments of large limb bones (MCZ No. 3469) and fragments of ribs (MCZ No. 3467)..
